­The footage shows a 9-year-old boy walking down the road when a uniformed police officer runs up to him and grabs him by the arm, causing the boy to fall on the ground. Another policeman then walks up to them and kicks the screaming child.

After that, the soldiers let the child run away, and leave the site.

In response to the incident, the Israeli Border Police issued a statement denouncing the policemen's behavior, which it claims “contrasts the values of the force.”
